- Abstract
According to the importance of rice consumption as an important part of nutrition in Khuzestan province, this study was conducted to assess the health risk of cadmium, lead and nickel heavy metals in local tower cultivars in Khuzestan province. In September 1977, three farms of Shooshtar, Shavar and Baghmalek were visited and 25 farms were sampled in three locations with 3 replications. Elements were measured using a US-based Varian 710-ES ICP- OES device. Cadmium, lead and nickel levels were higher in some rice samples grown in Khuzestan province than the national standard (0.06, 0.15 and 10 mg / kg, respectively). Risk share values of cadmium, lead and nickel in rice of Baghmalek, Shavar, Shooshtar and rice were higher than 1. The carcinogenic risk of heavy metals of cadmium, lead and nickel was higher in samples of rice grown in Khuzestan province above 4-10. Carcinogenic risk values in this study showed that consumption of rice cultivated in Khuzestan province has high potential of human pathogen city.
